lyrics

FILLING IN TIME

Put yourself in my place what would you do
In the changing face of danger
Strike a match in the dark light a fag from the spark
In the eyes of a stranger
I've got something on my mind I've been meaning to explain
But I don't think it's necessary to be unkind
I'm too busy livin' out this wasted youth of mine

Filling in time I'm just filling in time filling in time

Place the key in the lock becoming of age what have we got
Conflicting opinions
So change your mind all too soon thinking you are nobody's fool
You're just one in a million
I've got something on my mind I've been meaning to explain
But I don't think it's necessary to be unkind
I'm too busy livin' out this wasted youth of mine

Filling in time I'm just filling in time filling in time

So do yourself a favour I'm nothin' to write home about
Don't bother to ask that question why you know what I'm taking about

I've got something on my mind I've been meaning to explain
But I don't think it's necessary to be unkind
I'm too busy livin' out this wasted youth of mine

Filling in time I'm just filling in time filling in time

So do yourself a favour I'm nothin' to write home about
Don't bother to ask that question why you know what I'm taking about

Filling in time I'm just filling in time filling in time that's all
Filling in time I'm just filling in time filling in time that's all
